Fix Purple Screen Problem When Jailbreaking with JailbreakMe 2.0

Just a quick heads up for those of you are still stuck at Purple-colored (space) screen when jailbreaking iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch or iPad using JailbreakMe 2.0. As most of you might have already read it on our Facebook fanpage, the problem is caused because of cache which needs to be cleared before you can jailbreak your device. The instructions are as follows.

Step 1: Navigate to Settings –> Safari and then clear out History, Cookies and Cache.

Hey Cesar – I made this mistake and did not activate my att card before jailbreak. Now I can't get past the apple logo. Is there anything I can do?

On iPad, still get the purple screen even after following instructions to clear cache, browser history, and cookies. Do I need to do something else, such as reset all settings? Someone who has gotten this to work, please advise. Thanks!

Hi you need to do a hard reset hook it to itunes and restore the phone thats the only way. I hope this helps.

It should work fine, I used an AT&T sim card from a friend who cancelled his account. That shouldn't matter, it's just like the phonebook card, it's not even made to work with any carried. Make sure you follow the simple instructions on how to activated with the supported sim card. Let me know when you get it done and enjoy you're jailbroken – unlocked iPhone 4.0.1

Hi Taimur,

I am writing this is regarding one of the weird problem occurs on my iphone 3GS after jailbreak using jailbreakme with os4.0.1.

At first, my iphone is working like a charm. But after awhile i found out that my EDGE is not working weird. Yes, my EDGE can make calls, sms, data usage, etc..But when it comes to receive sms, it is weird. Which mean that let say my friend immediately send me an sms in front of me …i can't get the sms like for an hours.. But once i make a call..any call ..to anywhere ..then only i will receive the SMS. It is not the network issues…

i have done all the reset …reboot …reinstall …reset network ..clean jailbreak ..but the problem still occurs …b4 that, there is no problem on my edge …

But one thing, once i switch my iphone to use 3G …all the problem solved …but for EDGE ..it a no …

Does anyone have this kind of problem b4??

hopefully you can reply.

Thank you

Found out my gateway firewall's Anti Virus showing the downloaded files as trojan!Small Tip: Try disabling your security services before you use the jailbreakme site. If you want to check if any of your security services blocks the files from jailbreakme, try this link from your ipad http://www.jailbreakme.com/_/iPad1%2c1_3.2.1.pdf It should show the jailbreak process as normal once you go to this link from your ipad. This showed me that this was blocked by my firewall. Hope this helps somebody.

Thanks once again Taimur, for this brilliant find.

Just a heads-up that it may actually have worked…. I just tried this on my iPhone 3Gs 32GB on iOS 4.0.1 & Safari seemed to be stuck on the purple cloud screen, so I followed the instructions on clearing the cache, etc. After rebooting, I tried to jailbreak again, but it said it looked like I already am jailbroken, so I cancelled & sure enough I have Cydia installed!

Cleared my history, cookies, and cache several times.. rebooted several times.. still nothing.

I read somewhere that the firewall in my wireless router might see the download as potentially harmful, so it could be blocking it.

My fix? Turn on wifi tethering on my Android phone, connect the iPad thru that, and try again. Worked on the first try. Android saves the day!

Slider Not Working on jailbrealme.com

After many wasted hours I decided to restore by holding down left shift key and choosing version 4.0.1 that i had previously downloaded.
After restore and before sync i went into safari and typed jailbreakme.com……and surprise surprise the slider works.
Im happy now and hopefully my experience can help some one out there.
